Announcing that the DS handheld has now sold over 100 million units worldwide, Nintendo also reveal that some seven games have now passed the 10 million sales milestone.
List...

  1. Nintendogs
  2. New Super Mario Bros
  3. Brain Age
  4. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
  5. Mario Kart DS
  6. Brain Age 2
  7. Animal Crossing: Wild World 
These are the games that have now topped this hefty tally.

Apparently, a whopping 83 games have now also passed one million in sales, a testament to the phenomenon the DS has undoubtedly become.

A new model of the system - the DSi - is now available in Japan, and it will be heading to Europe and North America soon.

Nintendo DS sales have topped a whopping 100m units worldwide, the videogames giant has claimed.

The figure’s a combination of sales for all the DS variants: the original DS, released back in November 2004, the DS Lite, which appeared in 2006, and the DSi - which was only launched into Japan in November last year and won’t arrive in the UK until next month.

"Consumers have shown their love for Nintendo DS - 100m times over," gushed Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime.

By comparison, Sony said last month that - as of late January - it had shifted 50m PlayStation Portables worldwide. The first PSP launched in Japan during December 2004, a month after the DS.

But DS sales still have some way to go before they overtake those of another classic Nintendo handheld - the Game Boy. It’s sold just under 120m units worldwide, but has had a significant head start on the DS, of course - Nintendo released the original Game Boy back in 1989.
